Let me put it this way:
Sometimes I put on a collared shirt.
Then I drive to a country club or municipal course with a bag full of golf clubs.
Then I put golf balls on the ground and swing at them with the clubs.
When the ball finally gets into the cup, I repeat again at the next hole.
I don't know if it qualifies as "golf" just yet, but it is similar, but for now I'll just call it "hacking around."
